What a day.

It kept raining and as we left at 5:30 am (too late) the ground was soaked. It felt like walking in a swamp.
It's hard to park the car outside the gate to close it. I left it open twice so I didn't need to get out to open the gate first.
We had a lot of rain about two (?) winters ago but the road never looked that bad. Eight times I had to take it and it's hard not to end up in the ditch. I wonder why it's dug I never see a drop of water in it. It all remains on the land road or fields.

The pup next door is still alive. It saw all-weather circumstances in it's a short life. Rain, snow, hail, more rain, strong wind storms and it survived the freezing cold.

I still did not repair the woodstove.
We use a shelf of one of the windows to close a doorway without a door. It remains warmer at the place where we sit this way.

The children started to watch old pokémon animations again. Might be soon it's Pokemon go time. Not before summer started.

I intended to make tomato sauce out of my 5 years old tomatoes but didn't come to it. I started with the pea soup (for tomorrow) and it took three hours (instead of 1-2 hours) to get them soft. What a waste of gas! Tomorrow I will finish it. I was no longer in the mood to bake pancakes after my last country-mud-cross. The children baked them themselves. I will remember that!

Tomorrow morning I will see if it's possible to leave here under better circumstances. I like to keep my car in one piece. No one will save me if I get an accident or if my car is broke.

I hope to read some positive news tomorrow.
I was able to save a bit extra for my #hasil2020 targets which feels good.
The next bills to be paid arrived but they can wait for some days/weeks.

It's 8:54 pm bedtime for me. My hot waterbag waits for me.

Each circle can make you stronger
Is it possible to be someone if it's the society that can make or break you any minute? The Netflix series "Black mirrors" show you how easily modern, tech life can break you.

319, sorry you have to wait. At the moment I wrote this yesterday the signs something was going on on Steem were already given. I couldn't publish it and all sites/dapps are gone. Weku seems to have issues too.
030220 - Left in the rain I couldn't post this one yesterday so I did it today.
Steem is under maintenance? What will you do? dpoll.xyz is unreachable a good moment to try out directly posting in the community hive-120019. Let's see if it shows up one day at dpoll.xyz too.
Kurt lost his space I changed the title after publishing it. I intended to post this yesterday but... Well, you know steem was down (not only steemit) and there was no way I could post.
Jutting out Monday's freewrite prompt. Bulging eyes it is.
